Amazing blessings
Amazing blessings
In the last few years, I have seen so many blessings happen in my life, that it has made my head spin.
The first of my many blessings was when after looking for a job for eight months, I decided to open up my own business. Just as I was getting it off the ground, I get a job offer, a really incredible job offer with benefits and all. Against all the signs that I was showed, I took it knowing it wasn't where I was supposed to be. See I was new in my faith walk and all I saw was how was I supposed to take care of my girls? A new business hardly makes money, not for years. But God had already blessed this business, but I was too scared to listen and trust him.
Well... they let me go after one day, one day! They said they didn't have the time to train me?? Who gets fired on their first day? And besides the fact that I've never been fired!
I went home and cried, really now what? But God had plans for me because the very next day my phone started to ring with clients for my new business and I was off and running.

The second blessing was when I was getting divorced and I knew I was getting alimony, I deserved it, I prayed about it and yet I got nothing! I was shocked, I walked outside crying how could this happen? Didn't I endure enough in this verbally abusive marriage? Where was karma?
I walk outside and I get an email that I had a contract for my business. Yes, that new business I had just started. See as I trying to get some new business, I met this businessman who wanted to buy my business. Wtf? Yes, my reaction as well, was he nuts? I even asked him when I reiterated that I just started this business. He went on to say he was buying me, my knowledge and that he would keep me on to run it at a salary of 1,000 a week with benefits and 2 weeks paid vacation. Yes, you can close your open mouth as I sat there with my open as well.
Yes, that email had said that I just sold it.... for 20,000 no less, with no books, nothing...
Unbelievable! Well not really if you believe God can and will do anything.

If you want to know exactly how that happened in more details, you'll have to read my book The Blessing in Disguise.
But God was not done with me yet. Every week on my tithes envelope I asked for a home for me and my girls. See I was asking for a rental for us, but God had way bigger plans than I could have dreamed of. And I got a townhouse that was just like the one I was dreaming about, right in the neighborhood I wanted to live in and for 40,000 less than the market price.
Won't God do it!
I was also blessed that all of my friends, including my church family, came to help me move.

But God is not just good to me, as I remember when my friend called to tell me that he was blessed with a business. Yes, just blessed, as someone he knew gave him their business, just like that! They wanted to bless someone else and he was it, they weren't friends, they just knew each other from church.
Your all thinking "Yeah right! Come on!"
But I can't make this up, these were unbelievable things that happened to me and others because of God. Yes, there are all kinds of blessings out there, unexplainable and incredible blessings.

One of my Bishop's favorite stories is that God had told him to buy the Sunrise Musical Theater, now he was just starting out in a little church with not much money.
The county was selling this building and land for 11 million dollars. Ha! He was lucky he had 11 thousand dollars, yet 11 million but yet he listened as God told him to take the 11 thousand dollars and give it to 10 pastors. He said, "That's all I have and some of these pastors I don't even like!"
Yes, he's real like that! But he listened, gave the money and then went to the city and made an offer, with no money. Three times they turned him down, three times God told him to go back.

He was thinking, why I don't have the money, this is a waste of time. Well, wouldn't you know the forth time they accepted his offer and now he's thinking now what? But yup, you guessed it, God came through in the form of a little white man who came to see my Bishop and said he wanted to give my Bishop the money, yes, all 11 million! And as they say, the rest is history.
It is now home to The Faith Center and has grown from a store front to a church of 10,000 members. This is a church based on faith, my Bishop's faith and the faith he taught us.
When I write about faith and blessings, I am writing from experience. When I tell you anything is possible, I know that is true.
When I say believe, it's because I look down at my foot everyday and see my tattoo that says it and I know I can believe in miracles.
I know I believe in God and his incredible grace and mercy he has shown in my life over and over.

So today my friends remember, to open your mind, open your heart, know that no dream is too big or too unattainable for God, as long as you have faith he will show you his amazing blessings.
